Dr. Kurt Gamperl, a professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Dr. Mark Fast, an associate professor at the University of Prince Edward Island's Atlantic Veterinary College, were awarded $4.4 million to study methods to improve aquaculture production.
Drs. Kurt Gamperl and Mark Fast know a thing or two about fish aquaculture.
In fact, they have spent the past 15 years researching methods for improving the aquaculture production of salmon and other fish species, and for reducing the impact of pathogens and changing environmental conditions that can lead to poor health and disease.
